Likely damage question

[kerry]

Got woken up at 5am to the sound of the newspaper delivery guy hitting my wife's Landcruiser. Another car was blocking the street and instead of slowly squeezing by he sped up and hit it on the way through. His mirror hit the left front fender flare. But the front wheels were turned towards the curb and the right side of his Mustang hit the back of the tire. Dented in his door, took out the fake air intake and dented the back fender. Could see his paint on the tire. So, what's the likelihood it did damage to the front axle? I can't see any damage but the hit was hard enough to push in his sheet metal an inch or two.

I would be surprised it it damaged the suspension or wheel.

This thread is nothing with out pictures.

I doubt there is damage, but I would have the suspension/alignment checked anyway.

Low speed hit like that? It's probably about as much force as going over a curb at 10mph.
